President Trump’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, which has cemented itself as a battleground for political debate in Los Angeles, was vandalized again early Wednesday.

The vandal strode up to Trump’s star off Hollywood Boulevard and Highland Avenue about 3:40 a.m., knelt down and applied a coat of black paint to the star before scrawling “Putins Bitch” across it in white spray paint.

Another person appeared to be shooting photos or video of the incident, which was captured on video obtained by TMZ.

The Hollywood Historic Trust, which maintains and repairs the stars on the Walk, sent out crews early Wednesday to remove the paint, said Ana Martinez, spokeswoman for the Hollywood Walk of Fame. She said the organization plans to file a police report.

A Los Angeles Police Department spokesperson said Wednesday authorities were not investigating because they had not received a report of the incident.

Since the 2016 presidential campaign, Trump’s star has endured several publicized episodes of vandalism, including a spray-painted swastika and a “mute” icon. People have stomped on it and spit on it as they walked by; others have written on it.

Despite repeated attacks on certain stars, Walk of Fame officials have not wavered in their pledge to keep them publicly displayed.

“Once a star has been added to the Walk, it is considered a part of the historic fabric of the Hollywood Walk of Fame,” Leron Gubler, former Hollywood Chamber of Commerce president and chief executive, said in 2015. “Because of this, we have never removed a star from the Walk.”
